PitchMasters this Monday; HackABQ next Weekend!?

[Eric Renz-Whitmore]

Hey everyone... hope the spring is treating you well!

The NM Post Alliance, NM Tech Council, Rio Grande ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter and Rio Grande IGDA Chapter are conspiring to up the game of media-makers and entrepreneurs in the Albuquerque area, blending Toastmasters-style exercises, presentations from local pros and networking among folks from several organizations.

Our kick-off event with pitch, exercises, discussion of future events and networking will be held at O'Niell's Pub Meeting Room in Nob Hill (on Central by Washington) this coming Monday from 6:30 PM w/ content beginning at 7. We hope to see you there!

Some folks may also be interested in a hackathon in Albuquerque next weekend as well. Similar to the Game Jams and 48 Hour Film Projects we've seen, hackathons gather developers, designers and others to create mobile apps, software, websites and other products or projects within (in this case) 48 hours. More info and sign up at: http://abqhack.eventbrite.com/

Also from the world of social media is a nice article in Mashable about how some filmmakers are getting traction with shorts and social media.-- nice reinforcement for the success we're seeing with local projects like Enter the Dojo (I hope!).
